What is Hellfire gonna be about?

I will try my best to give you an idea of what this novel is going to be about.

So, I love One Piece, Very Very Much. I don't think I needed to tell you that considering I AM writing a One Piece FanFic, But I just wanted to let you know.

Let's get back to the topic now. This Volume (volume 1 of 3) for the Hellfire trilogy is entirely set in the south Blue. It is the blue we know the least about as of now so I thought it would grant me the most creative freedom if I choose this. The main characters in the Novel are all original. I may have taken some inspiration for their names but most of the characters you read here are original. Places too.

I really wanted to see different types of stories taking place in this magnificent world. And that is the only reason I started reading fanfictions. I wanted to enjoy the world from different angles and perspectives. But over the years of reading the same type of fanfictions done over and over, where the protagonist gets transmigrated into the One Piece world and with all his future and past Knowledge save everyone and becomes undefeatable. I enjoyed reading it a lot at the beginning but it started to get boring pretty soon.

I wanted to see the world through the eyes of the characters who are native to it. I tried to find but I couldn't find any that perfectly fit the criteria. Some came close but the drive to be overpowered ruined them.

So, with all the pain and sadness of not being able to read a One-Piece FanFiction that could scratch my itch, I set out to create 'HELLFIRE'.

HELLFIRE is going to be different from the adventures of The Straw Hat Pirates. Volume 1 is going to be a story about Ardael and his old crew planning to steal a precious treasure of south blue that no one in hundreds of years has stolen successfully in order to avenge their fallen comrade who died eight years ago when they attempted to steal the said treasure and failed miserably.

SO, basically what I'm saying is that 'HELLFIRE' is going to a HEIST/ACTION/FANTASY novel. Two of my favorite genre in one Story. FANTASY AND HEIST are my favorites if you were wondering.

It might help you if you thought of this FanFiction as an Alternate reality, an Alternate world of One-piece as we know of it. In this version of reality, these characters somehow exist, and their involvement in the world is gonna change a few things.

So all those who wanna see Ace Survive the War, that might just happen in this version of reality. But that's not happening in volume 1 so you'll have to wait.

And also do tell me if I should change the history so Buggy agrees to join Shanks as his first mate and became awesome. I saw Tekking101's video on it and I loved that version of buggy a lot more than this one, though the Buggy we have is pretty great too.
